The US military has for the first time attacked and destroyed two boats on the Pacific side of South America, as part of its ongoing and controversial fight against what it says are drug-trafficking activities.
The strikes – on Tuesday night and then early on Wednesday – killed five people according the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth. Previous attacks have hit seven vessels in the Caribbean and killed at least 32 people.
